National R.V. Holdings, Inc. Announces Appointment of David J. Humphreys as New Independent Board Member

PERRIS, Calif., Feb. 21, 2006 -- National R.V. Holdings, Inc. , a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, announced today that it has appointed David J. Humphreys to its board of directors, where he will chair the board's Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.

Mr. Humphreys was most recently president of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), a position in which he served from 1979 until his retirement in January 2006. Prior to 1979 he served for nearly ten years as RVIA's outside legal counsel.

"We are pleased to have someone of Dave's stature assume this significant role on our board," said Doy Henley, National R.V. Holdings' chairman. "Dave brings extensive industry knowledge and experience to our board. His appointment supports our commitment to strong corporate governance practices and his extensive experience in our industry will help guide our Company on its path to profitable growth."

In addition to his prior service as president of RVIA, Mr. Humphreys has been active for many years in the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA), the umbrella organization for all segments of the travel and tourism industry. He has been a member of TIA's Board of Directors since 1985 and was its national chairman from 1990 to 1991. He received the travel industry's highest honor in 1994 when he was inducted into the Hall of Leaders. He has also been a member of the board of directors of the American Highway Users Alliance (formerly Highway Users Federation), whose membership includes representatives of the oil, trucking, automobile and tire industries.

Mr. Humphreys commented, "I am delighted to be able to join the board of directors of National R.V. Holdings. The Company's reputation for honesty, and the quality and reliability of its products, were instrumental in my decision to join its board. While the Company has had its ups and downs in recent years, just as most leading RV manufacturers have at one time or another, I believe National R.V. Holdings has now put together an outstanding management team, has addressed its problem areas, and has assembled an array of products that will more than meet the needs of its dealers and retail customers. I look forward to being part of this outstanding organization and am convinced that National R.V. Holdings has an outstanding future."

Mr. Humphreys is a member of the bar in the District of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia and is admitted to practice before all federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. He attended college in Baltimore, Maryland and earned his law degree from Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.
